Medcarpet.com is a premier health care job service which brings Jobseekers and Employers
together. We are neither a recruitment firm nor a consultant, or employment partners
of, any employer. This health care portal is used by numerous institutions, health
care companies, corporate hospitals and recruitment firms. The usage of our site
is bound by a set of terms and conditions that the employers must agree and adhere
to. One of the primary objectives of these Terms and Conditions is to discourage
and prevent misuse and fraud.
Unfortunately, sometimes, false job postings are listed online, and non-existing
job offers are sent via email to illegally collect personal information and/or money
from unsuspecting job seekers. To control such cases, we need your help to remain
vigilant every day - when we receive complaints from jobseekers about fraudulent
or suspicious emails; we promptly notify the concerned employer and, if necessary,
block them from using our services.
We encourage you to be careful of emails that:
• ask your personal, non-work related information such as Credit Card numbers or
Bank information over phone or email
• do not provide valid contact information
• ask for monetary transactions, money-transfers, or payment for any employment/recruitment
related purpose
Before you respond to such emails, we suggest you to do a discreet enquiry and be
sure to verify the legitimacy of the employer with whom you are interacting. Please
note that Medcarpet.com does not approve of, or represent any employer or recruiter
sending such fraudulent communication, which in fact are a violation of the Terms
and Conditions. We value the trust you place on Medcarpet.com and are committed
to making your job search a safe and fraud-free experience on our site.
If you have received any such suspicious email communication, do report it to us
at [email protected].
Educate yourself against Fraud/Scams
We encourage you to read the following and make yourself aware of the warning signs
of the most common kinds of Internet and Email frauds.
There are two types of email scams – 'phishing' and 'spoofing'. In both the cases,
the 'from address' is forged to make it appear as if it came from a source that
it actually did not come from.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is an attempt by fraudsters to 'fish' for your personal details. A phishing
attempt is usually in the form of an e-mail, which encourages you to click a link
that takes you to a fraudulent log-on page designed to capture your account/password/personal
details. These emails can also be used to lure the recipient into downloading harmful
software. Please note that Medcarpet.com will never ask you to download software
in order to access your account. More information about Phishing scams and how you
can protect yourself against them is available here

What is Spoofing?
Spoof emails usually include a fraudulent offer of employment and/or an invitation
to perform a monetary transaction. Such email scams are, unfortunately, common across
the world and could target anyone - including unsuspecting jobseekers who have registered
with Medcarpet.com. The sender's address is often disguised and/or the sender may
not have provided the entire contact information, such as, the correct physical
address, phone numbers and email ID.
Remember, If you have received any such suspicious email communication from a possible
Medcarpet client, do not hesitate to report it to us at [email protected]. You can also block
the employer from contacting you in future, from your Account Settings.
